Between 01:59 and 02:18 BST we experienced a degradation to our authentication service.

During this period customers would not have been able to create new tokens, existing tokens would not have been affected.

Our Incident Response Team closely monitored payment flow and confirmed that there were no failed payments due to this degradation.
